Description I'd like to introduce you all to my latest creation Bandit the Numbat (otherwise known as the Banded Anteater). This little chap is a marsupial native to Australia that eats termites, termites and more termites, approximately 20,000 of them per day to be exact. Yummy!! Sadly they are an endangered species now due to predation by foxes and feral cats etc.

He measures approximately 7" from nose to bottom (his tail is another 6" long) and stands about 4" high. I created him out of all white fabrics and airbrushed on his fur markings. I do hope that you like him.

You can find more photos and information about him on the webpage below if you'd like to know/see more.

He was a special order so already has a new home to go to.

I'm not quite sure about the shape of the head. It seems to me that it might be a bit more angular with a bit longer nose.

Your plushes are always gorgeous, and this little fellow is certainly no exception! He looks so realistic that I almost expect him to bounce right off of that stump.

May I ask if you know any place I could go to find a tutorial on airbrushing?
and this little guy sure is cute!

LisaAP In reply to XxKrAzYxKiDxX [2012-04-28 13:23:57 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

I don't know of any tutorials on airbrushing, sorry. I purchased a book called 'Airbrush: The complete studio handbook' which helped with the basics. After that it was just trial and error really. If you have any questions I will be happy to try and help.

XxKrAzYxKiDxX In reply to LisaAP [2012-04-28 20:12:43 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Well I've never airbrushed before.... and I don't own any airbrushing equipment. But since I make dolls I am interested in purchasing the materials for it so I can make my dolls even more unique, but I was hoping to have some understanding of it! >.< but thanks anyways! I will keep looking into it.
